Neurological Disorder Care from Experienced, Specialist Carers

Neurological disorders can affect people at any age, affecting a person’s quality of life and their ability to live life independently. We understand that each person experiences their disease differently and symptoms may not occur in the same order and the disease may progress at different speeds.

SuperCarers can match you with highly experienced and trained carers in a variety of neurological disorders. A carer will provide tailored care to one’s current abilities and symptoms based around practical, emotional and physical support. Care will be adapted as skills and symptoms change or the condition progresses, moving towards palliative care if necessary.

We’re confident that you will be able to find a carer on the platform to meet the specific needs of you or your loved one and who’ll provide a holistic service by respecting the following principles:

Encourage clients to do things themselves and advocate independence, even if it takes longer

Ask what help and care clients want - they should be part of the decision-making process

Adapt to daily and long-term changes in a client’s symptoms and abilities

Liaise with other care professionals to ensure multidisciplinary care is implemented

Ensure clients live as dignified and independent a life as possible

Provide the necessary emotional support to a client’s loved ones

Common neurological disorders

Neurological conditions result from damage to the brain, spinal column, or nerves, through injury or illnesses and can begin at any time in your life. Disorders like cerebral palsy are present from birth, whereas others such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy appear in childhood, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease mainly affect older people. Some disorders have sudden onset due to injury or illness, including traumatic head injury, stroke, and brain and spinal cancers. Others, such as epilepsy and faecal and urinary incontinence, may arise at any stage in a person’s life.
